Turtle & Hughes acquires Forest Hills Electrical Supply
Turtle & Hughes Inc. announced the acquisition of Forest Hills Electrical Supply, a provider of electrical goods and services to the Boston area.
In the Northeast, this allows Turtle & Hughes to seamlessly service the Boston to Philadelphia corridor, according to a company press release.
“This marks our expansion into the Boston market with the acquisition of a highly regarded family-owned distributor,” said Rick Reffler, president of Turtle & Hughes. “Forest Hills Electric was founded 25 years ago and has been a consistently strong competitor in the market. We are looking forward to building on their considerable success by leveraging our technical services groups to expand into the commercial construction and industrial markets in Massachusetts,” he continued.
“I want to welcome Dennis Albert, founder, and Matthew Albert, Vice President and Manager, as well as all of the Forest Hills associates to the Turtle & Hughes family,” said Jayne Millard, chief executive officer of Turtle & Hughes. “Forest Hills has built a loyal customer base and shares our same core values of strong customer service and technical expertise. This makes them an ideal partner for future growth,” she added.
Forest Hills Electrical Supply is headquartered in Randolph, Mass., a suburb of Boston, and operates a second location in the Roslindale section of Boston. It serves commercial and residential contractors, property managers, institutions, facilities and municipalities throughout New England. Forest Hills will continue to operate under the Forest Hills name as a branch of Turtle & Hughes. Dennis Albert will remain as an outside sales manager and Matthew Albert will serve as vice president and manager of both Massachusetts branches.
